I am using rails_admin in my app. I have some scopes on my models, following is an example:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
scope :unconfirmed, where('confirmed_at IS NULL')
end
Is it possible in rails_admin to get access to those scope as a filter? Like you can in active admin. Like adding a button somewhere on in the users section.
Thanks
I've managed to do this successfully by adding a custom rails_admin action.
More details: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/Custom-action
For example:
# in lib/rails_admin/unconfirmed.rb
require 'rails_admin/config/actions'
require 'rails_admin/config/actions/base'
module RailsAdminUnconfirmed
end
module RailsAdmin
module Config
module Actions
class Unconfirmed < RailsAdmin::Config::Actions::Base
RailsAdmin::Config::Actions.register(self)
register_instance_option :controller do
Proc.new do
@objects = User.unconfirmed
render "index"
end
end
register_instance_option :collection do
true
end
end
end
end
end
The key is that it's a 'collection' action. Then you add it to the rails_admin setup:
# in config/initializers/rails_admin.rb
# require File.join(Rails.root, "lib", "rails_admin", "unconfirmed")
RailsAdmin.config do |config|
config.actions do
# root actions
dashboard
# collection actions
index
unconfirmed do
only 'User'
end
end
# snip!
end
This new action will appear at the index level of the User model.
I know it is a very old issue but someone redirected me to this thread.
You can achieve this easily by configuring the rails_admin as follows
# /config/initializers/rails_admin.rb
config.model User do
list do
scopes [nil, :unconfirmed]
end
end
This will insert two tabs on top of the list labelled All and Unconfirmed with the records filtered in respective tabs. Clicking those tabs will fire a query applying your custom scope
Hope it helps.
